She is a graduate of math and electronics institute in Moscow, a head of "Solidarity" organization, uniting the owners of small and medium business AND a journalist.
So yes, I believe she can understand the safety issues when it comes to construction, unlike the proverbial "janitor Ahmed."
I think it's better to trust people with a specialized education.

Old wisdom: If you are not interested in something, then something will interest in you (Если вы не интересуетесь чем-то, это что-то может заинтересоваться вами).
Events in Kemerovo is result of activities of these bloggers.
1. Ukrainian calls morgue of Kemerovo and starts the rumor.
2. Opposition bloggers pick up rumors and spread the fake. There is an avalanche of reposts.
3. Residents of Kemerovo believe in these reposts, angry crowd goes to the rally.
4. Opposition uses the situation to blame authorities.
...Тут ледяная пустыня, тут Сомали в снегу
Величие, мощь и гордыня одиозных фигур
Все куда-то бегут, все покорно молчат
Искренне верят, что проще всё это не замечать
Тут ледяная пустыня, тут Сомали в снегу
Караваны пусты, остались на том берегу
Просто детей берегут, тут верят, надеются, ждут,
Что ледяная пустыня вновь превратится в тайгу...

Isn't modernization of Russian business, economics and anti corruption why he gets a paycheck?
Somebody asleep at the switch? Not much progress being made?
Maybe.....................
I more or less understand why Putin is getting his paycheck ( and then some more.)
Why THIS idiot and clown gets his paycheck - I have no idea.
I assume for his loyalty and ability to keep his mouth shut.
It could not possibly be that the British detectives logged into her account to investigate. It must be that the entire thing was a conspiracy to throw out Russian "diplomats"
This particular guy used to work in Russian construction, specifically with safety installations ( fire prevention including.) Now ( I assume) he works in the US, so go ahead and see what he has to say on this matter.
Skipping all the technical details, the bottom line is still the same; business is after profits in Russia, and cuts the safety features as much as it can. It's up to officials to enforce the rules and regulations, but if the officials are corrupt and get the kickbacks from business owners, average people die as the result of it. (BUSINESS is not going to regulate itself, because as I've said its primary goals are profits.)
And that's what we saw in Kemerovo.

Actually, it's the OTHER WAY AROUND Maxim.
To begin with - people don't believe the authorities ( no matter where they are - be that Moscow or Kemerovo.) If people would believe the authorities to begin with ( and the figures the authorities voiced in this case in Kemerovo,) NO ONE would listen to some bloggers from Moscow.
But while receiving the contradicting information from the local officials and *Moscow bloggers,* the Siberians decided to do a logical and reasonable thing - to appoint their own people to check the morgues ( and other possible locations) to establish the true number of victims. Once they did that, the fact has been established. The officials were correct in this case ( at least as far as we know.)
Siberians are no Moscow's bloggers and "hamsters" you see. And this is the reason I was keeping my eye on Kemerovo, not Moscow.
But as far as Moscow goes - I can only re-post this -

P.S. I've heard that Shnur(ov) came up with a new federal proposal recently; he said that people in Russia shouldn't be allowed to purchase vodka unless they get university diplomas.

Discuss.
seems a bit hypocritical considering his songs pretty much tells people to not worry about their problems because they can just drink them away. If he really wants to combat alcoholism maybe he shouldn't have alcoholics in every music video of his,

You have to read the body of the article to get the point.
The move wasn't successful. Most countries only removed one diplomatic staff member as a symbolic gesture. There are apparently conciliatory moves on the part of the US-UK behind the scenes according to the statement by the US ambassador.
